Diamonds in the Rough – Meet Diamond Dixie Duo!

Featuring

DD (Diamond Dixie): Our dad always played music in high school so we picked up guitar at a young age. When I (Gabriela) was about 9 years old, I tried out for my school’s talent show and made it past the audition and onto the actual show. I remember getting off stage and telling my dad that music is what I wanted to do. Then my younger sister (Bianca) also fell in love with playing music.

Editor’s Note: It is always the younger sister copying the older one!

SB:Delving Deeper – Who is Diamond Dixie?

DD: We are a country duo from Orlando, FL. We’re sisters but not twins — hahaha!

Editor’s Note: You could have fooled us. You must get mistaken for twins a lot!

SB:Get to the Music – What instruments do you play?

DD: Gabriela: I play guitar and mandolin. Guitar is my main instrument but I enjoy mandolin too.

Bianca: The banjo is my main instrument but I also play guitar.

SB:Break Time – What do you like to do in your free time?

DD: Gabriela: I love to go to the movies with friends. It’s so weird because I don’t like watching movies but going to the movie theater is fun!
